magic man / la bound

The Bahamian percussionists two sought-after albums recorded for the Westbound label. These albums have never been reissued before.

"The Magic Man"(W224) was released in 1976. "LA Bound" (WB 307) came out in the following year.

Produced by Dennis Coffey and Mike Theodore, this is serious percussive magic, full of great proto-disco grooves with plenty of drum breaks that call out for sampling.The voodoo-themed "The Magic Man" sees the team take on mixture of funky disco originals and key cover versions such as the Ohio Players Sleep Talk. "LA Bound" includes the incredible Well, Have A Nice Day as sampled by Roxanne Shante on her hip-hop classic of the same name.

Comes with in-depth notes and an interview with King Errisson.
